Per Tablet

This synergistic combination is designed to help promote hair growth, strengthen hair follicles, and protect against hair loss. Cedar stands out as a comprehensive solution for men seeking to improve their hair health and achieve fuller, thicker hair.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Biotin
Biotin supports keratin production, which is essential for hair health. It improves hair elasticity, reducing breakage, and enhances hair growth by strengthening hair follicles.
Finasteride
Finasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, it prevents follicle miniaturization. This helps maintain existing hair and promotes regrowth in thinning areas.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil acts as a vasodilator, improving blood flow to hair follicles. It prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, encouraging thicker and longer hair strands by stimulating hair follicles.
HOW TO USE
Take one tablet by mouth once daily with or without food.
DISCLAIMER
This compounded medication is only available when the commercially available product is unavailable or when a prescriber determines that there is a clinically significant difference for the patient.
